Female flower closed- ' Golden Custard ' summer squash
I am farm 4 varieties of summertime squash this twelvemonth that are all newfangled to me . I have two salmagundi of scalloped summer squash rackets . Here is the first of them call ‘ Golden Custard ’ which will turn more xanthous with clock time . The other scallop variety I have is Bennings Green Tint which is a unclouded green scallop squash . It is a little behind and I do n’t have picture of one of the fruits as it is all leave-taking so far .
The first moving-picture show is a female flower with the baby ‘ Golden Custard ’ squash attached . Golden Custard has promising lily-livered yield and rich laid-back flavor . This is a rare native American mash that might predate Columbian times . I ’ve never tried it before and ca n’t wait to smack it . The female flower has not yet open to be pollinated . In all squash , winter and summer , distaff flowers have the baby squash attached and if they do n’t get pollinate , they will drop off .

The next picture is a Costata Romanesco summertime squash with the flower still sequester . This one was definitely pollinated as the baby squash has grown to eatable size of it . This is good eating size of it ( about 5 inches ) but left on the vine it will get larger and still can be used . Costata Romanesco is a ribbed zucchini from Rome , Italy and a famous Italian heirloom . The long yield are flute with medium , gullible - striped skin . The cutting slices are scalloped . They are democratic fried whole with the flush still on when still modest . They are very flavorful and a perfect , gourmet variety .

Lungo Bianco is a light - green - cream heirloom courgette and another pop variety from Italy . They are liquid sputter , mild and angelic .
I did a taste test of the Lungo Bianco and Costata Romanesco tonight and they both are wonderful . Both were peck when they were premier - about 5 inches foresighted and had no bitterness . I saute them in butter and put a little Parmesan cheese on them at the board . Yum !
